Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 255
This secret passage is extremely long. Lu Huaiqi once said that this secret passage has three forks, leading to different places.

One of them leads to the imperial palace, and the other two lead to the east and south of the city respectively.

The dark environment in the tunnel made Shen Qingli slightly uncomfortable. She gritted her teeth and didn't say anything. At this time, she didn't want to slow down their progress.

Ke Ranmo supported her but could clearly feel her unsteady steps and somewhat heavy breathing.

She was worried about Shen Qingli's body, "Ma'am, are you okay?"

Shen Qingli shook her head, remembering that the secret passage was too dark, she wondered if she could see it, she said calmly, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

She wanted to get out of the secret passage quickly, so that she would be completely safe.

But the facts are always unsatisfactory, those officers and soldiers finally found the entrance of the secret passage.

As soon as they entered the secret passage, the originally quiet secret passage became extremely noisy.

The leader of the officers and soldiers cursed, "What kind of bullshit secretly, that bastard Lu Huaiqi has been making these things in the mansion all day long? It's so dark that you can't see people clearly, can you walk in it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the officers and soldiers behind lit the torches, and with the light of the fire, the darkness in the secret passage was finally not so dark.

Shen Qingli's face became serious when she heard the voice from the secret passage, and she said in a deep voice, "Ran Mo, it seems that we are going to hurry up."

After hearing this, Ran Mo was terrified, but still nodded heavily and said, "Okay, ma'am, I will support you, take care of yourself."

The road of this secret passage is not too smooth, and it is not suitable for a pregnant person like Shen Qingli to travel fast, but they are not too concerned about the difficulties at the moment.

Shen Qingli narrowed her eyes, looking at the road ahead, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of some good idea.

"Ran Mo," there was some joy in her voice, which made Ran Mo startled slightly, "I remembered, he once told me before that there is a dark room in front of this, and once you enter that dark room, there is no room inside. If someone opens the door, people outside will not be able to come in, and there is a secret passage leading to the outside in the dark room." She looked at the dyed ink beside her, and her bright eyes were shining in the secret passage.

"Ran Mo, we may be saved!"

Ran Mo heard the surprise in her words, she nodded and smiled, "Madam, let's go to that dark room quickly."

The voices of the conversation between them are very low, in order not to let the officers and soldiers over there hear.

Since the officers and soldiers over there have been in the secret passage, they have been on guard against the mechanism in the secret passage, and they don't have the leisure time to distract themselves and listen to the movement in the secret passage.

It took only a short cup of tea to enter the secret passage, and they were terribly harmed by the mechanism in the secret passage. Many officers and soldiers ate their trousers, suffered serious injuries, and some even lost their lives directly.

The leading officers and soldiers thought to themselves that going on like this was not an option, and if they dragged on, they might not be able to catch up with Shen Qingli, and at that time, they would really lose their wives and lose their troops.

Thinking of this, he paced around in place, sweating profusely, and finally he looked at the soldiers in front of him and came up with an idea.

And the method he thought of was exactly what Shen Qingli had guessed before, using living people as the wayfinding stones, let them go first, but tested whether there were any traps ahead, if there were, they would know how to avoid them, if not, naturally it would be better , saving a lot of effort.

Moving forward like this "throwing stones to ask for directions", their speed has obviously accelerated a lot.

They are all strong men, and Shen Qingli and Ran Mo are not only women, but also Shen Qingli is pregnant. In comparison, their pace is naturally much slower.

Therefore, when they reached the door of the dark room and were about to enter, the officers and soldiers had already caught up with them at a distance of about a hundred meters behind them.

Seeing that Shen Qingli and the others had already opened the door of the dark room, the officers and soldiers in the lead almost wanted to take bows and arrows. Fortunately, he remembered He Minxin's previous order, saying that Shen Qingli could not be hurt, so he stopped in a hurry and turned to Shen Qingli and the others. He shouted loudly, "Bold Mrs. Chen, stop quickly and catch him!"

Shen Qingli didn't even turn her head when she heard the voice. She was opening the secret door of the darkroom, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the nonsense of those people.

Ran Mo was terrified at the side, fearing that the officers and soldiers would shoot arrows over, and they would really be unable to hide. Although she had some kung fu, she only had one person protecting the madam, and there were dozens of people on the other side. She was not sure at all. He can protect his wife well.

Shen Qingli stared at the mechanism on the door intently, her mind spinning rapidly, thinking about the steps of how to open the mechanism door that Lu Huaiqi had demonstrated in front of her.

Finally, with a blunt sound, the trap door finally opened.

Shen Qingli hurriedly pulled Ran Mo into the door, and the mechanism door closed immediately with a heavy sound, blocking the officers and soldiers who were rushing over from the door.

After the door was closed, Shen Qingli leaned against the door and wiped the sweat from her forehead a little out of breath.

Ran Mo hurriedly asked, "Is Madam all right?"

In such an urgent situation just now, she was very worried about Shen Qingli's body.

Shen Qingli waved her hand, she was just a little tired, her body should be fine.

Recently, she has been eating soup every meal, and the soup Jia Zhen prescribed for her is extremely nourishing for her body, so her body is much better than before, and she is not as weak as Ran Mo thought.

The officers and soldiers led outside kicked the door fiercely a few times, but such kicks almost didn't make his feet useless.

Looking at the trap door in astonishment, he didn't expect the door to be so hard.

Let the officers and soldiers who know how to use mechanism to study the mechanism on the door, he can't help, so he can only watch from the sidelines.

Inside the door, Shen Qingli found a box in the secret room. After opening it, Ran Mo watched from the side, and found that there were silver bills and some coarse clothes inside.

She was surprised, "These are all prepared by Nine Thousand Years here?"

Shen Qingli took out two sets of clothes from the inside, handed them to Ran Mo, and said calmly, "He has always been a person who knows how to plan ahead." Sighing insignificantly, she continued, "Hurry up and change into clothes." Well, after we go out, there will definitely be portraits of us in the capital, and many officers and soldiers will arrest us, we can't go out like this, or we will be caught by them."

Ran Mo nodded, seeing Shen Qingli's methodical appearance, she also began to undress.

And not long after they had changed their clothes, when they were about to find the secret passage in the dark room to escape, they suddenly felt something was wrong with the movement outside.

Shen Qingli raised her eyebrows. It is said that Lu Huaiqi said that as long as this trap door is entered, people outside will never be able to open it. She does not know the accuracy of what Lu Huaiqi said, but she is a little uneasy at the moment.

There was silence outside for a while, just when Shen Qingli thought he was thinking too much, the voice of the officer and soldier who cursed people came from outside and said triumphantly, "Mr. Shen, you think we can do nothing about you if you hide here ?”

The man laughed a few times and continued, "You are so naive. Although this mechanism door is extremely hard, I don't believe it. No matter how hard it is, it can still withstand the bombardment of gunpowder!?"

gunpowder!

Ran Mo tightened Shen Qingli's hand, and she whispered, "Where did these officers and soldiers get the gunpowder?" You must know that this is a secret channel.

Shen Qingli frowned tightly, her expression changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "There is gunpowder inside, he said, just in case, he prepared gunpowder in the secret passage. Yes I was careless, I should have brought the gunpowder in just now."

Ran Mo saw that she was blaming herself, so she hurriedly comforted her, "Ma'am, I don't blame you. It was such an emergency just now, how could we have time to fetch the gunpowder?"

Shen Qingli thought about it, "It's useless to say more now, if they really use gunpowder to blow up this dark room, we may not be able to get out alive."

Lu Huaiqi once said that the door of this secret room is very hard, even gunpowder may not be able to shake it.

But the power of the gunpowder in this secret passage is extremely strong, I am afraid that when the gunpowder is ignited, the door will not be able to hold it for a long time.

The only solution for now is to escape from the secret passage as quickly as possible, and try to escape here before they blow up the organ door.

She was about to leave the secret passage with Ran Mo when she suddenly heard the officer and soldier outside say triumphantly, "Mr. know?"

Shen Qingli was shocked, who did they catch! ?
She walked to the door of the organ and listened attentively, feeling full of surprise in her heart. After waiting for a while, she saw no sound from outside. Just as she was wondering, she suddenly heard a loud curse from the officer outside, followed by the sound of a weapon being unsheathed, and then another The man's muffled grunt.

Shen Qingli had a bad premonition in his heart, could it be——
The officers and soldiers over there have already scolded, "What a tough guy, you think I don't know who you are if you don't make a sound! I've seen you before, and you are Lu Huaiqi's subordinate! What is your name Zhang..."

"tension!"

Ran Mo let out a low cry of disbelief, she never thought that Zhang Li would be caught by them.

The officer said, "Mr. Shen, I don't have that much time to spend with you. If you don't want this guard to die under my sword now, then you should come out quickly and don't let me wait! Let me tell you, I I don't have that much patience, if I get impatient, I won't be able to control the sword in my hand!"

He made it clear that he was threatening Shen Qingli with Zhang Li's life.

Zhang Li finally spoke, but his voice was a little weird, as if someone had pinched his jaw to prevent him from biting his tongue and killing himself, "Don't worry about it, Ma'am, you go away! The master misses you the most, so you must not have anything to do!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a muffled snort, and it was the officer who stabbed him again.

"So much nonsense! You..." Before he could finish speaking, there was a heavy sound from the organ door.

The door opened, and Shen Qingli walked out supported by Ran Mo.

She looked coldly at the officers and soldiers in front of her and said, "Take your sword away, you are not going to take me to see He Minxin, what are you doing in a daze."

The officer was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the delicate and beautiful woman in front of him was Lu Huaiqi's wife, he moved his sword away, Zhang Li hurriedly stood behind Shen Qingli, and in an instant the swords in the hands of the officers and soldiers were aimed at them.

Out of the secret passage, all the way to the door, where He Minxin has been waiting for a long time.
